they understand that this affects our economy, please understand that this affects our schools. >> in 2007 illegal immigrants had to return to their home country before applying for a green card. not so today. the previous bill required operational control of the border before legalization. now the border patrol must only meet security benchmarks over five years. previously 200,000 guest workers could stay for two years before going home. the new bill gives up to 75,000 low skilled workers, spouse and children a six-year visa and path to citizenship. in 2007 employers were required to use a government database to verify legal status. the new bill gives them up to five more years to comply. >> i don't think the controversy has gone away. i think it's simply at a low simmer, but it can come to a boil when the illegals come back and the problems return. >> reporter: key differences, farm workers and the children of illegal immigrants can get citizenship in five years not 13. high-tech agriculture businesses get more workers, it clears the backlog of legal immigrants waiting in line. jenn
